You get a boat load of zip locks, scoop in some sand and glitter and sell it as "Pixie Dust".

Heya, K&K! I've seen you over on BBN and Peej's TR. Welcome! This IS indeed a nice group. In a "Wow, y'all are crazy" kinda way. Jump right in!

Morning.

My head is spinning. It's been such a crazy last 36 hours.

I'm afraid to post anything cause it seems every 12 hours we are told something different from the last talk with a doctor.

As of this morning this is whats going on.

Tim has a solid mass (9cm) on his right kidney. No more tests can tell us anything different. His kidney has to come out.

The next step is for us to meet with several specialists to discuss our surgical options.

I am just waiting for the office to call me back to arrange this.

The last thing we were told in the hospital was they are treating this as Renal Cell Carcinoma (kidney cancer). (Oops! spelled "Renal" wrong)

The good thing is his left kidney is healthy and when they scanned his whole torso nothing else showed up.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

We are praying for a good diagnosis and speeding recovery

UMA-- I know all those and I am not from the south. I have heard another meaning for Piddle though... Glad Norah was alright. How scary. That is why I will not buy gummy vitamins for the kids , they like them too much.

Mony-- great idea but it would take me days to do that, plus I wouldn't want to be around when kids started throwing pixie dust at each other in each others hair....

K& K or would you like to be called something else?

 

[celerystalker]

Alright thar young un! You is almost learned! I have a few comments. Overall, I (or someone in my family) use all of the words on this list. Sad, eh?

AIRISH- cold
BITTY BIT- a small amount
FIXING TO- about to
MESS-one who carries on, "He's a mess."
PLAYING POSSUM- playing dead
WART-TAKER-one who removes warts by charms or incantations
WORRY-WART- one who is annoying
YA'LL or Y'ALL (can be spelled both ways)- you all, two or more people

I have never heard of airish, therefore do not use it.
Bitty bit? Never used this one, but I can see it.
it's "fixin to," not fixing to
My cousin who is mentally challenged says this ALL THE TIME! ("You're a mess!")
I disagree that playing possum means playing dead. While actual opossums allegedly faint when scared which causes predators to think they are dead and leave, when applied to humans it means pretending to be asleep to either avoid work or for humorous purposes.
I have never heard of a wart taker.
a worry-wart is not one who is annoying but one who worries about every little thing or is a hypochondriac. While these people ARE generally annoying, it's not a literal translation.
It is NOT spelled ya'll! That makes no sense at all! you + all = y'all. Duh.

Airish is a mountain thing.
I agree on fixin' too and mess. Usually in "He is a mess". The midwestern version is "ornery" pronounced Awn-ry... which I thought meant grumpy but it is more like mischevious. Goldenchild is ornery.
I agree on worry wart but don't think of that as Southern.

And logically you all should be spelled y'all but I do tend to spell it ya'll because that is where the syllable break is
yah- all


You have forgotten the most important Tennesee-ism ever.


UGLY.


Ugly is how you act. Not how you look.

If you are "bein' ugly" that means you are being mean, disrespectful, a tease or annoying. Sample sentence:

If y'all don't stop bein' ugly to your little sister right now, I am not going to carry you up to the swimmin' pool.


To carry is to take someone in your car (or truck) somewhere.
To tote is to carry something in your arms.

 

[celerystalker]

Good lesson, twinks!

 

[Celerymama60]

Celery, your daddy's side of the family has a wart taker. It's his only boy
cousin on grandaddy James side. You tell someone where an address is and say', it's over yonder' and over yonder can mean from 1 mile down the road or 5 miles down the road.

Hi Nab. Very good question. Let's see IF I can help. Hmmm. Let me think on that a spell. Hmmm. Eureka!!! I think I've got the perfect solution. You could dump it in Windy's back yard.

I think ya meant to say

Unless thats more Texas slang - bein, gonna

and all y'all is plural for y'all...

just sayin!!


I have an idea, whatcha all think?

I will photo copy DD class picture (this years pic that somehow DID NOT make it into the yearbook) 50 times, and bring tape and the copies have the kids tape her to the page!! ??

PS Uma I went to the health food store, I'll let you know how the cream works!! (and why dont they sell any testasorone creame otc? I hear that's a HUGE viagra type bang!! (dont answer I can only imagine what would happen if one would over due!!

Hmmm, that could affect the delicate soil balance she maintains to raise only the bestest earthworms.

We received DS15's report card today and he did something I was never able to do. He made all A's in both semesters of a school year in high school (he was a freshman this past school year)!

Well, you have every right to brag, Rob!

Congratulations to your DS and to his parents!

 

[Sandy321]

I AM NOT believing this

United announced they are cancelling their "Ted" airlines, - - um you want to fly from Chicago to Orlando - you have Ted (you go to United, it sends you to Ted)

so anyone has an extra $$ around so we can book a 'just in case" United wont pick up any of these routes?

OMG

Ugh, we all have a Poison Control story (or 3 like ME). Just like we all have a foreign object in our noses story

UMA-- I know all those and I am not from the south. I have heard another meaning for Piddle though... Glad Norah was alright. How scary. That is why I will not buy gummy vitamins for the kids , they like them too much.

Piddle = pee pee (as in urinate, not the body part)

Gads, you are a wealth of information and edu-tainment

Start with the Progesterone cream twice a day. As for the the viagra cream, can't tell you "here" (SANDYYYY!)

It's CLAY. It needs top soil first. Snarkish!
